Focus on the Stars

 

Spring time is like little lights found coming up from the dirt of life's ground.

"Iain Thomas, a South African author and poet, included this quote in his book “I Wrote This For You” published in 2011. This quote emphasizes that even in the absence of external light, individuals have the power to create their own sources of light and positivity. By applying this learning, individuals can take ownership of their lives, find their passions, and create their own path towards happiness, even in the midst of darkness." 

 I search for those lights appearing all around me. I find them in unexpected places.



“Never fear the darkness, for in it lies the power to create.”  – Brandon Sanderson, “The Way of Kings” (2010)

 And to create is like little rays of sunshine. Flowers are a creation of God. Was God smiling when creating these beautiful things? Did God know we would need them after the dark night of winter? 

Hold on, dear friends! We will survive the dark night and be better for it.

Sending love,

Marilyn

You are already seeing Spring flowers. Here, there's not too many of them yet, but I do see the pink blossom trees starting to come alive. I like how the author mentioned that we can create our own path of happiness. Reminds me of a quote I came across recently, which I'll send you right away.
